Exhibitions
Visual Arts Center, Gallery Two in the Hemingway Center
MFA Thesis Exhibition: Featured artists are Kelly Cox, Rachel Lambert and Eric
Mullis. Cox’s project is titled “Fixate” and is a staged environment of stacked TVs and
ceramic pelican-vessels, both patterned with geometric slip stenciling. In connecting
these two disparate subjects, Cox is making a statement about fabricated material
receptacles and the “cultural” and “natural” cycles of creation, value and rejection.
Lambert’s exhibition “Sights-of-Interest,” explores the illusion of protection through the
construction of a fiber-based installation that recreates the alluring experience of
photographing outside and inside living spaces. In Mullis’ artwork, “B> Be greater
than…” he has created a product catalog and alter ego that explores ideas related to
consumerism and identity, which is presented by way of installation and projections.

Translation, Poetry from ‘Witch in Mourning.’ Student Union Gallery. The Boise
State University Student Union Exhibition Series presents “Poetry from Witch in
Mourning by Maria-Mercè Marçal,” an interdisciplinary collaboration between translator
Clyde Moneyhun and artist Maria V. Garth. Moneyhun became interested in the poetry of
Maria-Mercè Marçal after visiting Spain in 2013. In spring of 2014, Moneyhun translated
Marçal’s book of poetry, “Bruixa de dol” (“Witch In Mourning,” 1979), from Catalan
into English. Inspired by symbols from “Witch in Mourning,” Moneyhun and Garth have
collaborated on an exhibition of translated poetry and photography. A related book will
be released in March 2015. This collaboration is sponsored in part by Boise State
University Arts & Humanities Institute. Free.
